Frequently Asked

Accommodation Questions

Is there a room block at any of these properties?

Yes—we’ve secured exclusive room blocks at our handpicked partner properties for your wedding weekend. These are offered at a preferred rate and held until 30 days prior to your event. Just let us know your guest count, and we’ll coordinate the details directly with each hotel.

Is transportation provided between accommodations and the venue?

Absolutely. We arrange chic, comfortable shuttle service on a curated schedule—timed to ensure everyone arrives effortlessly for each key moment (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and late-night send-off). Custom routes and private car options are also available upon request.

Are there options for guests with accessibility needs?

Of course. Every venue we work with is vetted for accessibility, and we go a step further—offering reserved seating, ramp access, mobility-friendly restrooms, and personalized assistance as needed. Just share any specific requirements during planning, and we’ll handle every detail with discretion and care.

What is the check-in and check-out policy for the wedding weekend?

Standard check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. However, we coordinate early check-in / late checkout requests with our hotel partners on a case-by-case basis—especially for out-of-town guests or those staying for the full weekend. We’ll also share a full weekend timeline so everyone can plan travel with ease.
